A standard abdominoplasty mainly addresses excess skin in the lower abdominal area. The Fleur-de-lis method combines both a horizontal and a vertical incision, allowing for the removal of significant skin excess from the upper and middle abdomen as well. This approach enables more pronounced tightening and contouring of the waistline.

The Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is especially recommended for patients who have experienced massive weight loss (e.g. after bariatric surgery), women after multiple pregnancies, or individuals with severely lax abdominal skin that extends to the middle and sides of the abdomen.

Yes, the final scar is shaped like an inverted “T,” running horizontally across the lower abdomen and vertically down the midline.

Your surgeon will always aim to place incisions in the least visible areas possible.

The hospital stay typically lasts 2 days. For the first two weeks, rest and wearing compression garments are recommended. A gradual return to normal activities usually occurs after 4–6 weeks. The final result continues to develop over the course of several months.
